> We said we liked their CPU performance, but didn't like the Archimedes graphics hardware which was too low res and low depth, and could not be upgraded.
I'm surprised about that! Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Archimedes it says the machine could do 640 × 512 with 2, 4, 16 or 256 possible colours, or 800 × 600 with 2, 4 or 16 possible colours. That's pretty spectacular for the late eighties; far superior to the Amiga (previously considered the king of graphics) and even superior to VGA, let alone the Mac.
